Live Thread: Celtics @ Cavs
2016-03-05https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMPTxxJwYlQ
The Celtics are in town tonight. The Cavs will be looking for revenge. The last time the Green Guys were at the Q they were treated to a comedy of errors the final minutes of the game.
With four seconds left in the fourth quarter and the Cavs up by four, J.R. Smith fouled Evan Turner from behind while he was attempting a layup. Smith just barely touched Turner, so Evan easily got the layup to drop. He then missed his free throw, but somehow the Celtics got an offensive board, after Timofey Mozgov smacked the ball out of bounds. Avery Bradley then hit a game winning 3-pointer as the clock was winding down.
The Cavs failed to show their mental toughness that whole game.
They should have some confidence going into this game though. The Wizards looked frazzled yesterday, as the Cavs ran with a small ball lineup for much of the game. The Cavs were moving the ball efficiently, and they played near perfect defense holding the Wizards to just 83 points.
The Cavs will look to slow Isaiah Thomas. Thomas is the Celtics’ lead scorer getting 21.7 a night.
Kevin Love scored just ten points in his previous game against Boston. He left in the third quarter with a shoulder stinger.
This is the last time these teams will meet this season.
KLove tough day at the office with his shot
So frustrating not to get points on that trip… At least they’re picking up the D…
Uncle Drew in for tonight….
Love it!!!!!!!!!
Cavs have made this run with LBJ on the bench… hopefully Bron can come back and keep it going…
I’m willing to sit him for long if they can. Well maybe he replaces Kev.
Banana in the tailpipe Marcus…
Smart idea by Irving.
Kyrie is 6-9 from 3 last night and tonight.
At least Ky is draining them…
They’ve deducted us a point???
Delly’s foot was on the line during his trey apparently…
Shump is stuck on Waiters island.
I sure hope he is shooting more in practice.
Its stupid but the only reason I care about this game is so the podcast doesn’t suck. Win won for the podcast please!!!
You care more about the podcast then the game?
Only cares for what’s awesome..
Yes… that is pretty stupid…
Jerebko grabbing Love’s jersey all the way across the lane, finally gets called when the pass comes in.
Kevin Love hasn’t played for 4 days……….
Sure doesn’t look like a guy who has had that much rest time…
Such a mystery this team.. Lebron rest plays great. Love rests no difference
KLoves 3-point shooting has looked bad lately.
There’s no way the Celtics can keep up this rate of shooting…
Doesn’t help that about every one is a wide open look…
Even the few contested ones are going though…
Yeah.. They’ll eventually cool down.. the next game.
They can’t miss apparently
Delly Trey!!
that was a beauty,,,love to ki to tt
Great movement… more of this guys…
Go Kyrie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kyrie’s 3 is rounding into form last night and tonight.
Celts have the best scoring O in the East, and it’s not really close. Cavs need to bring it to stop them.
MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN KEV ANOTHER DAY OFF ——I HATE THESE CCELTICS —–BUT PLAYING CONFIDENT AGAINST THE CAVS
Shump must be like 0-15 or worse by now.
Always look so slow on the second night of back to backs…
Surprising since they didn’t have to play the 4th last night…But they look like old men tonight…They’re making the Celtics offense look like Golden State…
Always been the case all season long
They can’t blame the rim for their slow feet..
They held the Celtics to 35 in the quarter, down from 39 in the 4th quarter of the last game. Positive trend!
Gotta find a way to turn the energy around…
Keep this line up out there. Maybe sub in Moz for TT in a bit.
Moz is a terrible matchup for this team. Celts don’t really have a big man. Well. Sully is big, but I meant up not across…
Moz is 3 for 3 tho…
TT getting some boards leads to a couple second-chance hoops.
CONSINTENTLY INCONSISTENT ——-WOW WAS HOPING THE POSITIVE VIBES / PLAY FROM LAST NIGHT WOULD CARRY OVER TONIGHT—–STILL EARLY BUT NEED TO CLOSE THE GAP QUICKLY
JR SWISH!
Shumpert hasn’t hit a shot since January.
Shumps on a slump……….
Might as well go to the ufc right now.. Might be more fight than this..
Sullinger stood in the paint for that entire last possession… no call…
Shump and TT confused around the pick on that 3 by Smart.
This is the attacking they need to do… instead of getting baited into long jumpers…
Cavs better step up their D, or this is going to be a 40 point quarter for Boston…
What might be the narrative of the night? “It’s a back to back, they’re tired.. Well get them next time..”
Cavs can’t hit anything!
Shump passes up an open corner 3.
And the Celtics can’t miss…
Good start!!!!…………………/s
Cavs are ice cold from the outside…
Also, Shump would be helpful against this Celtics lineup…
The passes to nowhere aren’t helping…
Cavs look like crap! Bring back the small ball.
That’s why you don’t hit LBJ in the face man!
GET THAT WEAK STUFF OUTTA HERE CHOWDAH!!
Chowdah with the “inadvertent elbow”
Irving blocked Crowder…
And now LeBron blocks Crowder.
Cavs slow on rotations defensively…
Cavs are slow in every way defensively so far.
Moz with the fade! Cavs are riding the bear again tonight. Not sure he was inbounds before he caught that pass…
MOZ is beasting right now!
Bron with the early three point hoist…
Moz Dunk!
Cavs not getting back on D that time…
Mozzy picks up where he left off…
Any guesses on the meaning of the #DC and #SFG hashtags in LeBron’s latest tweet?
#DC = Diet Coke?
#SFG = San Francisco Giants?
Dear Cols? So Effin’ Good?
Cool Foots Walker interview on FSO right now…
Did anybody see a ‘Where Are They Now?’ roundup on the Miracle guys?
Also according to McMenamin… Kevin Love is two 3-pointers away from 700 for his career. When he hits them he will become the only player in NBA history with a career average of at least 10 rebounds per game with 700 made 3s.
LeBron is only 20 points away from passing Tim Duncan for 14th on the all time scoring list… Next up… Havlicek…
According to McMenamin, Ty Lue isn’t holding anyone out of this game or Monday’s game against Memphis…
New Tweet from LBJ…
All these cryptic tweets and the timing of it makes Lebron look very childish to me.. Just.. Smh
They just showed the post-game locker room scene again on FSO with the guys giving a shout out/welcome back to Timo… love to see that… Locker room galvanization…
^this………………………
Man… the end of that game was really annoying…
Good evening CtB! Here are your numbers for tonight:
CLE is a 7.5 point favorite over BOS with an o/u @ 210. Money is split nearly 50/50 down the middle on the line and the o/u. Slight smart money bets are CLE and the OVER.
I’ll take CLE over BOS 110-101. Vegas is suggesting a high scoring affair with CLE’s offense clicking on all cylinders against a top defense in BOS.
